One Pot Wonder Chicken Lo Mein from The Wholesome Dish was super easy, incredibly delicious, and it was a hit with the whole family. Next time I will add in broccoli and snap peas. The more veggies, the better! This is the second one pot wonder meal I've done from The Wholesome Dish and I can't wait to try some of her other recipes too. They are so easy to do, I love it.

Rachel Schultz, A Household Almanac has a tasty Feta and Bacon Stuffed Chicken dish I wanted to try. The kids were a bit weary of the feta, picking most of it out. So obviously this wasn't one of their favorites, but all I ask is that they try it, and they did. So I was happy with that. As for the adults, we loved if of course! Bacon and feta? Yes please!

Hawaiian Baked Ham Sliders, also by Rachel Schultz, A Household Almanac, was a quick and easy dinner to make. If you haven't noticed, I'm all about easy! My friend makes the most delicious ham and cheese sliders, so I wanted to give it a try myself. I opted to use whole wheat rolls instead of the hawaiin rolls as they were on sale and I love them. Doing so did not comprise the tastiness of these sliders! I saved even more money by getting my cheese at the deli counter because it was on sale there, as opposed to purchasing it from the pre-packaged section. We also buy large hams and slice them our self with our meat slicer. We save a lot of money buy purchasing in bulk and slicing at home.
Hawaiian Baked Ham Sliders
Ingredients:
12 king's hawaiian sweet rolls
¾ pound ham, sliced
6 slices swiss cheese
½ onion, sliced
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
¼ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Slice rolls in half horizontally.
2. Layer ham, swiss, and onion slices on to bottom of buns. Place the
bun tops over sliders and transfer to a 9x13 baking dish.
3. Whisk together poppy seeds, dijon mustard, butter, and
worcestershire sauce. Drizzle mixture over sliders.
4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and
bake for an additional 2 minutes.
Slice into individual sliders.
